BOWLING GREEN. Sept. II, 1887.
This being court-day, at an early
hour the people began to assemble and
the streets TO assume n business-like
appearance. The day was exceedingly
warm and the dust very disagreeable !;
consequently the crowd was not as
large as usual at September court.
The business before the court was not
Of much consequence.
At ] o'clock the Democrats Of the
county assembled in mass-meeting in
the courtroom. Or. Il. G.. Holloway,
chairman of the County Democratic
Committee. called Mr.. George Tyler to
the chair, who stated the object of the
meeting to be the consideration of the
political questions before the people
and the reorganization OF the party for
the coming contest.
DR.. Holloway read letter from the
chairman of the Hanover County Com
mittee, in which he suggested the Dist
rs suitable day for the convention TO
nominate a senator, ana Hanover
Courthouse as the place. The follow
ing delegates were appointed to that
convention ". 7. Chandler, II. O.
Peatross, W. j. Anderson, j. J. VIII
Hams. George II. Pitts, b. +. Smoot,
John Ii. Martin, T. j. Molly, ID. b.
Powers, II. G. Holloway, DIR. J. A.
Hippo, John Washington, W. l.. Cole
man, George II. Saunders, Arch
Samuel, G I. Smith, W. l.. Cobb, and
X. l.. Hargrove.
It was then moved and carried that
the delegation present at the conyen-
ton cast the vote of the county.
Mr.. George Tyler offered his res1g-
nation as chairman OF the Central Pre-
cinct Committee.
The meeting then voted that the
County Chairman issue a call for prima-
Iiet at the respective precincts to send
delegates to a convention to nominate
n member of the House. The prima-
ries were directed to be held on Satur-
day the 18th, and the convention to
meet at Bowling Green on Monday the
18th each precinct sending one dele
gate for every 100 voters.
There seems no doubt that Senator
Wickham will be the nominee for sem
ator, but about the Legislature there is
vet considerable doubt.
The position of principal of the
graded school in this place has been
offered to Mr.. John NJ. Garnette, of
King and Queen county. Mr.. Gar
ne,te takes until the Doth to decide, but
he will doubtless accept. An appoint
ment more satisfactory to the people ut
large, and especially TO the patrons OF
the school, could not have been made.
MIR. Garnette formerly taught in the
academy here, and gave unqualified
satisfaction in every respect. Miss
Louisa Il. Glassel has been appointed
TO the position of assistant, the same
position which she held last session, and
discharged with entire satisfaction.
The third teacher has not been APP
pointed.
The Bowling Green Female Semi
nary will open Wednesday the 18th.
Several pupils have already entered, and
the prospects are good for very large
school.
Mr.. George Tyler viii leave Wednes-
day for Pulaski county, where he will
take charge of school. He will carry
with him the best wishes OF the people
Of Caroline and their sincere regrets al
losing one OF their best citizens. b.
